HardwareGrowler + Time Machine on a network drive

[David Foster]

I presently have Time Machine configured to use a network volume for
backup (as opposed to a local volume). Therefore whenever Time Machine
attempts its hourly backups, it automatically mounts the appropriate
network volume, does the backup, and unmounts it. With HardwareGrowler
enabled, this shows up as a somewhat distracting Volume Mounted and
Volume Unmounted notification every hour.

A possible remedy would be to add configuration to HardwareGrowler to
ignore volume mounts/unmounts for a particular volume(s), such as a
Time Machine volume. Might be a little tricky since HardwareGrowler
presently has no UI, so far as I can see.

Is there much interest in implementing this? If not, I might consider
adding the modifications myself, given that it appears I can download
the source for at least Growl (and hopefully HardwareGrowler).

Of course an easier workaround would be to disable the Volume Mounted
and Volume Unmounted notifications, but then I lose some functionality.

Did you ever find a solution to this? Or manage to modify the code?

It is really frustrating!

I think this would be an interesting change to HardwareGrowler. I have filed this issue, feel free to star the ticket so that you get updates when it changes.

It would be good if wildcards could be supported in the ignore list. I have google chrome mounts and dismounts frequently as it auto updates in the background, each with a unique name.

Thanks
